What Does it Take to Rebuild a BMW M3 Engine? - E92 M3 - Project Frankfurt: Part 5

In this episode, we are inspecting, cleaning and reconditioning all engine parts in preparation for the full engine rebuild of the M3 S65B40 V8 engine. We clean the crankshaft, take apart the oil pumps and cylinder heads, fix the stripped oil drain plug and take the block to H2 Motors, and recondition (hone) AluSil cylinder bores.

I hope our old Englishteachers don't watch your Episodes.😂 It was a Pleasure to have you in our Shop.🤙

[@spud8385]

I'm English and you guys speak it better than a lot of people here so don't worry!

[@Francis.....]

English is so bastardised there is no right or wrong these days... Americans made sure of that

Don’t worry guys your English was better than most of the people I know 😂

Just in time we translated all our videos and added English subtitles. Feel free to use our playlist to find out more about our work on BMW engines. Have fun! kzbin.info/aero/PLnsiTEdA-H-Wr_2NLuiwLcOF6zWMc-iax

[@r.weaver3769]

Don't you wish more shops cared as much as these guys, the world would be a much happier place.

[@Hdkrbrjfofjfndkele]

The world would be perfect

[@studiomwg]

Honestly, I want to send my E46 to Germany and work on it with guys who care and know what they’re doing. It’s so difficult to find.

[@r.weaver3769]

@@studiomwg I'm thinking you're not alone with that sentiment.

[@studiomwg]

@@r.weaver3769 We should all organize a trip, car transport, and a large garage for a two week+ marathon work session. 😂

​@@studiomwghave you seen the videos by Reddish motorsport in the Uk?

[@vavra222]

Man, its so good seeing Sreten being recognised and sponsored by more and more people and companies, you definitely deserve it!

[@omg_stoppit]

Best microfiber intake manifold I've seen to date. Looking amazing.

[@jasons4745]

😂

[@GTDpowah]

Just imagine if it was truly made of microfiber 🎉🎉🎉 😂

[@MakeYourVision]

Microfiber + epoxy resin 😂

[@yugo4576]

Man, it's awesome to see Sreten is getting some great support from all these different places. The machine shop is just an incredible place, and the guys were genuinely happy to help out. This is only the beginning of great series!

[@Hdkrbrjfofjfndkele]

Mhm

[@don7walk769]

I definitely can not recommend H2Motors. I had my worst experience with this workshop: disorganized, incompetent, customer unfriendly and arrogant to boot! Timing not set correctly during engine overhaul and unable to detect the fault in two weeks. After that, H2M threatened me with legal action via lawyer that I am not allowed to claim this anymore. Mr. Huber, you and your store have remained in my very worst memory! I have never experienced any thing like that before!

[@s12d.z]

There ain't nothing better than sitting in your bed after a long day and watching Sreten work on his broken BMW's while throwing some jokes! Just immaculate work, attention to detail and classy oem taste🔥

[@legioner9]

Well said, sir.

[@AMdrew]

Better the OE sometimes :)

[@FieryWings01]

Amen brother same feeling here from Australia and my Oem+ 323ci factory manual.

[@garymurphy5133]

i will keep this short. there is NOT a better BMW channel out there than this one. the content is unmatched and production / editing is like a "discovery tv" production and all done by 1 one guy amazing. well done Sreten

[@jimtaylor431]

H2 Motors workshop is like a nirvana for BMW enthusiasts.. I cannot *believe* the amount of stock they have in terms of motors, etc. Truly incredible. Their combined knowledge must be enormous. Your E92 M3 is shaping up to be really, really special Sreten.. can't wait to see it all come together :-)

[@freddyrosenberg9288]

Did we just witness the beginning of a beautiful friendship?

[@PetarFantastic]

It is really nice to see there are still shops in Germany that are run by a passionate person! It really looks like they love and know what they are doing at H2 Motors!!

[@gouldnj]

I love hearing you use the Gudentight torque value. It warms my heart.

[@spencermaiers8322]

Until recently it had to be torqued perfectly from the nut side, the perfectly good used bolt had to be replaced, now just tighten it up and foeget about it s good enough. I think our host is turning into a grizzled old school mechanic ;)

[@mantaskizeliauskas9567]

That shop is like the heaven.

[@TROdesigns]

One of the best automotive series ANYWHERE. Awesome German craftsmanship

[@kristijancoric3604]

That machine shop is out of this world

[@TheHunterHofman]

The BMW KZbin enthusiasts are blessed again with another upload (from you, this time)!

[@25troy]

I was starting to drool seeing all these fantastic engines and rare M cars in mint condition at H2 Motors... 🤤. Great episode!

[@Ian_Christensen]

Damn son. That guy was a freaking legend. 'Give a shout out'. Yes baby, here you go.

[@darklegion7780]

That's called content . 40+ minuts and you don't feel it . A pleasure to watch and learn new stuff.

[@jouleskelvin]

I'm here for the adults parts content. 🤓

[@FrldyZX87]

What a cool interesting episode! Love how these places you visit give you a tour of their facilities. They know M539 Restorations is one of the best channels on KZbin! 😁

[@McMaster1500]

Great episode Sreten, this S65 engine is gonna be better than new! I would love to see a E34 M5 project on the channel.

[@st3althyone]

My prayers have been answered! There's nothing better than watching the beginnings of an engine rebuild. Seeing you do all your prep work sure is a treat, Sreten. That S65 sure looked sexy down to the bare block. Thanks for always giving us your best. Take care of yourself and we’ll see you on the next one, my friend.

[@Fiatagri60170]

My one and only Patreon subscription, and it's worth it so much. We really feel the gain of experience compared to the videos on the H1 engine, thank you for sharing your experiences Sreten

36:10 😭

[@joachimemand1687]

What a coincidence! When I watched JP Performance at H2Motors earlier this week, my first thought was: Sreten would love the guys from HIIM. And here you are :D Fantastic video as always, thanks a lot.

[@schorschp2537]

M539 & H2Motors. Two of my Favorit Chanels in one Video. Superb

[@marcorossi6953]

Oh hell yeah, H2 Motors is heaven 😍

[@paullaw5054]

I'm not a BMW guy, just an old petrol head, but I've got to say, I was blown away with the engine shop. What a fabulous 45 minutes of pure enjoyment. Those guys are not just engineers or craftsmen but artisans. Like Sreten, people who put their heart and soul into their work. Great credit all round.

[@Nigel999]

i'm lost for words on how excited I was to see this drop - 45 minutes of heaven being totally absorbed in the magical world of Sreten and his BMW's.

[@mhervan]

The fastest 45 minutes on KZbin! Your videos are so informative and your attention to detail is unmatched!

[@julianpritchard2558]

It just goes to show how highly your work rated. So many top quality companies want to help you out. As always, amazing quality of work and attention to detail.

[@IvanForpatril]

The whole process of cleaning and honing the block was mesmerizing! It's now an objet d'art!

[@tsherwoodrzero]

After seeing a block cleaned and properly refurbished, now I'm more motivated to clean up and fix my E38's starter wiring.

[@Xtoxinlolinecronomicon]

H2M has a real treasure trove of beautiful engines! 👀

[@alz_rdf]

The smile on the guys face as soon as you said vixen 😂hilarious)))

[@kamilianos]

RESPECT to Imran from the UK and to the company who sent aluminium valve covers - that's sick !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@DucatiGTS]

Wow that E34 M5 6spd Touring Wagon, amazing! The Ultimate Family Wagon? Those guys are absolute professionals. You're the BEST BMW channel on the net, my personal opinion!

[@yassirc3681]

Sreten, you've inspired my love for BMW. I was possessed by the notion that BMW are nothing but unreliable, unserviceable, money pits. Well, they do cost a lot to fix, but it worth the driving experience. Thank you for the quality content, and details on fixing, restoring neglected BMWs.

[@viggokoch6998]

The honing guy is absolutely right. In many cases we should say "learning be doing wrong"

[@Rubystar001]

When I saw that black 3.8 E34 M5 Touring I got chills on my back. I owned one just like that for 7 years. Every aspect of that car is a piece of automotive art.

[@SalvaBarbus]

This is going to be magnificent. Those intake parts just look incredible, and they're going to sound out of this world, absolutely. Also, I'm super glad that you've been able to find shops which are professional and share the same mindset as you do!

[@TheHolyGG]

first JP and now you. The E92s are in good hands :)

[@plunder1956]

H2 Motors are clearly your kind of people. What an amazing place.

[@FluePeak]

M539 is now the offical BMW Whisperer, he can fix everything on thoose car quite litterally

[@toweliethetowel8280]

39:24 "finish the surface with ätzing" 😄

Brilliant! Seeing that engine block getting honed and refinished was great. It's nice to know there are people who know what they're doing with respect to this somewhat unique material. Looking forward to the big rebuild!

This is right up my strasse, I have had my E92 M3 for almost six years, I do all the servicing my self , with correct factory torque settings on everything, inspired by you Sreten . 🙌🙌

Sreten the kinda guy who videoes teardown but takes pictures for reference. Good stuff.

TOP MAR is working on the heads? You choose the right shop, Man !

[@AllBoardCreatives]

You are literally running a dream factory... Great work as always, the machine shop visit was very insightful and interesting! Awesome that you were able to look over the shoulders of the H2 Motors wizards!

[@mrmusic1880]

What an incredible episode this was! I simply can not believe how incredible that workshop is and how beautiful your S65 turned out. I am so eager to see the M3 back on the road and autobahn!

[@yourlocalflacofiero]

Ah yes, learning by destroying is my favorite way to learn 😄

[@jamest5149]

Glad Imran and Evolve / Eventuri are on board… great products and company 👍

[@WiimanX2]

This is incredible. Proper insight into engineering and how in depth engines are. Hopefully this keeps going and doesn’t die out with all this EV nonsense going on

[@939driver]

Another great episode to watch! And even featuring your e60 M5! That car is just BMW heaven! Looking forward to seeing the M3 completed with those upgrades. Cheers from the Netherlands

[@Sebastiancom11]

Fantastic content as always! Just bought a Hoodie, it’s not much but i hope i at least supported a minor bushing 😂 - Keep it classy, keep it OEM. Keep on doing what you are doing Sreten. You are a true guru and inspirationel to all of the car community! Love from a Peugeot Mechanic who badly wants a E34 Touring 😂🤘🤘

[@maredox]

Pure BMW S porn...thanks! H2MS shop is a freakin Disneyland! Amazing episode! ❤

[@tonykeast9966]

Best advert ever for that amazing place. I'm blown away by them. Perfection fellas! Sreten, whatever that was they cleaned the surface up with by hand at the end... don't get yourself ONE... Bulk buy a few thousand and sell them to us with a channel sticker as merch. Everybody needs that. Stick a clear ten or even twenty bucks profit onto the cost and shipping, easy! I'd thank you for it. Superb video, those guys are fantastic.

[@legioner9]

Sreten, everything you touch turns into something beautiful.

[@MapOfEurasia]

Fantastic episode! Man that M3 is gonna sound awesome!

[@Rimmy1965]

Another epic and fascinating episode, dropped everything and watched as soon as I could, this is becoming very addictive 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@rapstninja]

I don't know why but everytime i watch your videos, i fall asleep and forget what i watched.

[@tim0025]

Sreten is probably the happiest person in the world!

[@Soravia]

For OE magnesium cover, refinish them with special oil resistant heat resistant Cerakote finish. It will last much longer than any paint coating you can find.

[@terhesiu]

does refinish them with electrostatic paint is a good idea?

[@Soravia]

@@terhesiu how durable is it under heat and chemicals?
